This event, hosted by the Women's Press Club of New York State, is for women and men in any field who like being in the know about state news and politics.

A panel of journalists and state government watchers will offer a savvy assessment of what New York state accomplished -- or left hanging -- in 2018 and what to expect in 2019, including how what's happening in Washington, D.C., may affect the Empire State.

Sign up now and pay either online or at the door by check, cash or credit card. Event runs from noon to 1:30 p.m. and includes a full lunch.

Contact WPCNYS board member Joann Crupi at j.crupi@att.net with any questions and to check Thursday morning on limited walk-in availability.

- See you Thursday! Your friends at the Women's Press Club of New York State
